Does anyone know why Disney Channel has this weird rule that when a show has 65 episodes it has to end? I was just on tvtome.com and they said that Lizzie McGuire is ending because Disney has this rule. Many people are clinging to there computers and putting up petitions and writing to Disney because they don't want it to end.

Yea, it sucks. The only Disney show I watch is Even Stevens, which is over with also.

I noticed that too, that is a completely stupid "rule." IMO.

You're right, I can't believe that they're that desprate to hold a show, that held great ratings, and the fans will be heart-broken, and the actors loose they're jobs because of this mishap.:mad:

That is a pretty stupid rule. I don't know, maybe another channel will buy the rights to Lizzie? It was a big show, and I'm sure somebody is just ready to pounce on it. Switching networks could make it jump the shark though. Usually if it switches networks, they make a bunch of changes and that just screams 'Shark Jump' about 90% of the time.

I heard on Tv that they are making a Lizzie Mcguire movie.

Well someone on the Lizzie board said that ABC is going to bring it to their primetime. But I don't know if that just means reruns of it or new episodes of it.

and the actors loose they're jobs because of this mishap.

They only have a 65 episode contract, so they are all aware of it.

Well what I have heard even if ABC does pick of Lizzie they'll all be repeat episodes because they have already torn down the Lizzie set.

Wasn't Lizzie shot on location? Anywayz, I think they might do exactley what NBC did with "Good Morning Miss Bliss." I think ABC will probably pick up Lizzie and put new episodes on Friday nights or Saturday mornings. They probably might add new characters and get anew set, also. Possibly a name change too.

i didn't read ALL of the replies, so someone might have already said. Disney isn't made out of money! it's more of not having enough money to do more episodes, than a rule. It's like with the WB and Buffy. They couldn't afford it anymore, so they cancelled it. If there wasn't UPN, Buffy would be gone...

Nick does the 65 episode rule too...

There nicktoons have over 65 episodes....And, most of there shows get cancelled before 65 episodes, cuz they're REALLY stupid! Kenan & Kel, Cousin Skeeter...The only good live action Nick shows are: Clarissa, Pete & Pete, and Taina.

Actually, Brandon, Clarissa had only 65 episodes as did Pete and Pete, Keanan & Kel and Cousin Skeeter. I hink Taina has more tho.
Nick has very dumb cartoons coughINVADERZIMcough.

But All That has been on for a long time now and they haven't ended that show.

All that just started filiming a new season..Britney Spears's little sister is in it now.

Hmm..I guess the rule applies to live action sitcoms on Nick..not like All That..I dunno..

I also think that "Lizzie McGuire" is going to have new episodes on the new TGIF.

On www.imdb.com , there is a new TV show slated to come out on 2003 called, "Lizzie McGuire" that's currently in production! and the old Lizzie McGuire is to be cancelled later in 2002.


Isn't that weird?


...and on Hilary Duff's TV credits she is listed to be casted on the Lizzie McGuire coming out in 2003!




I am almost sure that Lizzie McGuire is moving to ABC prime-time. Isn't it weird how ABC promoted the crap out of "Cadet Kelly"? :confused: and Lizzie McGuire on Saturday mornings?

(ex... Lizzie McGuire's Hilary Duff on Cadet Kelly this Saturday on ABC!) )
